  • Pull Rate Indicator – allows operator to easily monitor and adjust the rate of pull in accordance with international test methods.
  • Easily select dolly sizes, change measurement units or store readings, with the touch of a button
  • Conversion charts not required – tester automatically calculates pressure based on dolly size
  • Inexpensive, single-use dollies eliminate cleaning re-use and can be kept as a permanent record
  • Each kit comes with everything needed for testing


Durable

  • Weatherproof, dustproof and shockproof
  • Quality hydraulic pump can be used in any position
  • Rugged carrying case
  • One year warranty

Accurate
  • Every AT-100 Adhesion Tester pressure system is calibrated and certified to ± 1% accuracy using an NIST traceable load cell
  • Self-aligning dolly enables accurate measurements on smooth or uneven surfaces
  • Hi-grade, industrial pressure sensor ensures continued accuracy
  • Conforms with ASTM D4541/D7234, ISO 4624, SSPC-CS 23.00/AWS C2.23/NACE No. 12, and others
Versatile
  • Internal Memory stores maximum pull-off pressure, rate of pull, test duration and dolly size for up to 200 pulls
  • Optional software available for downloading to a computer
  • LCD displays pressure value in psi or MPa
  • 10, 14, 20 or 50 mm dollies maximize capability and accuracy across a wide range of bond strengths
